ITEMS TO GET: None
If you fly back to Nortune, you'll find that you
can actually enter the city. All the actual city parts
of town are off-limits, but you can "talk" to the
blue crystal in the center of town to sell your
monster trinkets (fangs, scales, etc.). You've probably
got a lot of them, so be sure to do so -- you can use
the money to buy Big Joe's Gear stuff. More importantly,
you can return to the Battling arena.
A bunch of new Gears have joined the ones playable
back on Disc 1, and there's a higher difficulty level.
You can also use the jukebox Big Joe's brought in
(assuming you have the M Disk) to listen to any of the
music in the game while you fight -- see the Jukebox List
under "Charts and Info". Before, earning BP was kind
of hard, but with the new difficulty level (where you
earn more BP) and the Xenogears, you should be able
to rack it up quickly. Just use X to fire off streams
of homing lasers at guys; you can win a lot of fights
without being hit and be awarded extra points:

Normal Win |
Decisive Win* |
Gear Level 0 | 145 BP, 210 G | 215 BP, 500 G |
| Gear Level 1 | 175 BP, 330 G | 300 BP, 700 G |
Gear Level 2 | 450 BP, 550 G | 900 BP, 1000 G
|
* You pretty much have to be at full life to get this,
though if you have about 95% of your bar, you'll
still receive a decisive win.
Your BP, of course, is used to buy items from
the woman on the east side of the counter. All the
"Normal" items take away from your Current BP when you
purchase them. The "Rare" items are either totally
free if you have a certain number of Total BP (TBP),
or items that cost both BP and TBP. Also, you can
only get each Rare item once.

Also, there's two extra Gears you can make playable
in Battle Mode 1. One of them is Elly's Regrs, which
you can get by simply playing through the last dungeon
and exiting through the escape hatch at the end. The
other is the mysterious Argento. To get this guy, go
to Battle Mode 1, set the difficulty to hard, and
pick a Gear (preferably Xenogears). Fight the first
enemy Gear in the list (Vierge, unless you're using
somebody else) and win. After that battle, reselect
your Gear, and push right to choose the next enemy
Gear in the list. Go through all the Gears in this
manner until you've beaten everyone, then change
Gears and win against the one you just were. If you
can do all this without losing, Argento should become
playable.
